Easy to mix with look-alikes
The spelling risk for good is neighbouring look-alikes ("got", "gota", …), not just typos; it is anadjective pronounced /ɡʊd/. Frequency #7,565 among 1,728 “G” headwords. Gloss: "Bueno, buen.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 4 likely wrong-spelling variants for good, with forms such as "ggood", "godo", and "goodd". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "got", "gota", "goza", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
This entry carries no recorded etymology, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct Spanish form is good, spelled G-O-O-D.
